Gord's got some great lines for sure:

"I'm a highway romance milking thief."
- from On the Verge

"I've been carving you
To see what form you'd take
You were hiding in ivory
I just wanted to free your shape."
- from Bring it All Back

"I wrote unfriendly things
Truly cruel
On the day that you were born
To prove that words could not touch beauty..."
- from Put it Off

"Porn speaks to it's splintered legions."
- from Poets.

etc.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and, okay, some of those are more than 10 words),

Not ten words but here's a brilliant first verse from Clapton:

Don't you know what's wrong with me?
I'm seeing things I don't want to see.
Sniffing things that ain't no good for me.
I'm going down fast, won't you say a prayer for me?

Clapton/Derek & the Dominoes - Got to Get Better in a Little While
